The construction of the tunnel for the attempted fuel theft from the state-owned pipeline is being investigated by the Civil Police of Campinas (SP).

Petrobras was notified about the incident after the asphalt began to sink and the tunnel drew the attention of the city hall and Sanasa, where they were able to confirm that the hole in the asphalt was not a problem with the pavement or the pipes.

Representatives from Petrobras were called to observe the site and were able to identify that the tunnel, supported by wood, was just a few meters from the pipeline, with about 5 meters of drilling left for the criminals to reach the state-owned duct.

The pipeline transports various types of fuels. Petrobras filed a police report at the station, but no suspects were arrested.

According to Petrobras, this case marks the fifth attempted fuel theft from pipelines in less than 2 years at the state-owned company.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
